Bridgnorth to Quatford

Bridgnorth marks the northern limit of the Abberley and Malvern Hills European Geopark. The underlying rocks at Bridgnorth are a Permian Sandstone formed 299 million years ago in desert conditions 20 degrees north of the equator on the Pangea continent.

In the 14th century a 'bridge' was built two miles 'north' of Quatford giving the new settlement that developed its name. The current bridge has been extensively re-modelled in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
